A chance word from a doctor or nurse off their guard for the moment will implant in the minds of many such a person the unyielding conviction that he or she is suffering from some gastric complaint, from some cardiac affection, or from some constriction of the bowel. It may take the united force of many doctors to uproot this pathological doubt which was implanted so easily and so carelessly.
So unexpected was the assault that, strong man as Greatorix was, he had not the least chance of resistance. He reeled at the sudden constriction of his throat by hands that hardly seemed human, so wide was their clutch, so terrible the stringency of their grasp.
Even at Myrtle Forge, where in contrast to dwelling in the confines of a city he had had a rare amount of actual freedom, a feeling of constriction had sent him day after day into the woods, hunting or merely idle along the upper reaches of still unsullied streams. Yet it had been an especial kind of wildness; he owed that recognition to his vanished youth.
"Yet another day, and the evil was not altogether upon us. It was now evident that its nucleus would first reach us. A wild change had come over all men; and the first sense of pain was the wild signal for general lamentation and horror. This first sense of pain lay in a rigorous constriction of the breast and lungs, and an insufferable dryness of the skin.
He lit out over the hill soon as he saw us." They went into the house. Jessie walked straight to where Onistah lay on the balsam boughs and knelt beside him. Beresford was putting on one of his feet a cloth soaked in caribou oil. "What did he do to you?" she cried, a constriction of dread at her heart. A ghost of a smile touched the immobile face of the native. "Apache stuff, he called it."
"Oh, dear, no! nothing but the painful constriction that marks any ordinary fatal attack of angina pectoris. There's a rum breach of promise case in the paper to-day. You should read it; it'll make you laugh." I had no more inclination to laugh than to sigh; but I accepted the change of subject with an equanimity now habitual to me.
If old enough, he will complain of constriction about the swallow. On examining the throat, the tonsils will be found to be swollen and redder more darkly red than usual. Slight specks will be noticed on the tonsils. In a day or two an exudation will cover them, the back of the swallow, the palate, the tongue, and sometimes the inside of the cheeks and of the nostrils.
For a few seconds she stopped speaking, but she held them with her eyes from the mistake of supposing she had done. Lindsay, who was watching her closely and hanging with keen pleasure on the sweetness and precision of what she found to say, noted a swift constriction pass upon her face.
He remembered anew poor Sandy, far from these stanch walls, the very citadel of security, within which he felt so recreant; and as he thought again of the perils to which his brother was exposed, and a possibly impending hideous fate, he felt a constriction about his throat like the clutch of a hand.
The tube a is now cut at such a place that when b is inserted in the open end the point will come near the end of the constriction of a, as shown in c. Care is taken to get a clean square cut. The side tube is now cut off about an inch from the main tube and corked. Tube b is sealed into the open end of a, in the same way as a was sealed into the large tube, and the joint carefully annealed.
